Chef Of The Month January 2015: Robbie Hohmann

Robbie Hohmann, Baresca Nottingham

When leaving school my first job was as a kitchen porter at
HaHa bar, in my home town of Nottingham.

I then moved to Leeds to study marketing at college
alongside completing a catering apprenticeship in a local restaurant, after
which I decided to focus on being a chef and after 3 years in Leeds, Returned
to Nottingham and HaHa bar as a qualified chef.

I later gained more experience working throughout different
restaurants the city had to offer, where I eventually took on the Head Chef
role at Escabesh, a tapas restaurant just out the city centre in West Bridgford,
owned by the Perkins family.

After working there for two and half years, when the group
decided to expand into the city centre I was given the opportunity to move as
head chef taking on Baresca. A three story Tapas bar and restaurant with two
kitchens. Bringing on completely new and different challenges every day.
Something I relish in overcoming.
